Okay, so this isn’t my typical “Fun Find” but I was so excited about this I knew I had to share it with the world.  Like most of you, I don’t have time to get manicures or even paint my own nails on a regular basis.  I’ve got a busy life and when I’m not chasing after an active baby I’m doing dishes, laundry, picking up toys, cooking or playing Words With Friends — okay so maybe that last part isn’t necessary but it’s how I spend my 5 minutes of peace and quiet.

Anyway, where was I?  Oh yes, that whole being a mom + looking presentable thing.  After watching American Idol one night and seeing a few of the contestants wearing this amazing aqua color I knew I wanted to try it out — supposedly it’s the color of the season.  I’m not usually so bold so this was a bit of a stretch for me.  While I was at Target I picked up a $9 bottle of OPI nail polish.  My frugal husband stood in the aisle and sighed.  I know, I know, $9 for 0.5 fl oz of nail polish does seem a bit steep, but it’s “the good stuff,” right?  After grumbling under my breath I put the OPI back and picked up this $1.99 bottle from the bottom shelf.  Little did I knew this was going to be my new favorite beauty product.  I hate to admit it, but I have to thank my husband (just don’t ever tell him I said he was right).

Normally my manicures last two days, maybe three if I’m lucky.  Even those “no-chip manicures” that are guaranteed to last 2-3 weeks don’t hold up.  I’ve been told I have oily nails, whatever that means.  I’ve tried all of the clear bases, OPI, Essie, top coats, gels and so on.  Nothing works.  ::Cue the angels::  This $2 bottle of polish lasted SEVEN whole days.  I could not believe it.  Sinful Colors is sold at Target and Walgreens, so next time you’re there pick up a bottle and try it out.  I’d love to hear what you think.  If you love it, you can thank me (or my husband) for that extra $7 in your wallet.
